MARCH has been blustery month
throughout, but its last days have been
its worsts days, yesterday giving us a
regular blizzard" The Temperatures
has been below the freezing point al
most every morning since the month
set in, and yesterday morning the
thermometer stood at 250, and this
morning down to 90, the coolest
weather since January.
THE commission firm of Rice & Disch
of Philadelphia, give notice that they
have changed their place of business
to No. 222 North Delaware Avenue.
the old stand formerly occupied by J.
Z. HendricksOn & Co., where they will
be pleased to receive cOnsignments and
serve their country customers. The
junior member of the firm, J. HI. Disch.
is from this vicinity and favcrably
known. He succeeded Mr.. Lullman
in the business in January.
OLD SOL has crossed the line" and
is supposed to be done with his winter
work. We hope he will turn his gen
ial rays in this direction and get in
some spring business; disperse the
north winds, and let the balmy breezes
blow from the south and west. All
nature will rejoice. The invalids need
more moderate weather. The birds
and flowers are waiting to sing their
glad songs of welcome in their own
way. Yea, and the weary newspaper
man longs to HE to ocean billows and
and % dash the thought, the sea-
side passes have been ruthlessly called
in, and idle imaginings are not to be
INDUCED.
THE free basket question having at
attained such proportions, it has caused
much discussion among fruit growers
as to the best method Ofgetting around
it. Many plans are proposed. Auong
the most feasible is that of bringing
buyers in direct contact with the
growers. The Fruit Exchange at
Wyoming being a success, a number of
growers in this neighborhOod are hav-
ing a similar bill drafted to present to
the Legislature at its present session
for one to be operated at Clayton.
Among those interested in the move
ment are Messrs T. w. Cavender, w.
Cummins, /. Truax, A. G. Cummins,

New Canals.

The Dover correspondent of the
E0ery EUening thus writes of new canal
projects now claiming attention in our
State:
Captain Dasey is glad he is living
tonight. His Assawaman Canal bill
went through the House with flying
colors. 1t was not the original bill, but
more comprehensive substitute, TAX
ing in the whole Delaware section of
this prospective inland navigation sys-
tenn that is In time to be made contin-
Gus from Sandy Hook to Florida. The
bill was thus extended so as to cover
all the right Of way the State may be
required to turn over to the national
government and thereby make sure
that nothing was lacking to make avail.
able the Sl8,750 which has been aDprO-
priated by Congress towards the con-
structiOn of the canal. For the acuuisi-
tion of that portion of the route be-
tween Rehoboth bay and Lewes creek
the $4,000 appropriation of the original
bill was raised to $2,500 in the substi-
tute. Nathaniel Williams. John s
Harrington and John H. Layton, one
from each county, are named commits
sioners to appraise the lands along the
route that the State will be called on
to pay for. The canal is to be 2IO feet
wide. The bill goes to the Senate with
good prospects.
Senator Ferguson has given notice
of bill to revoke the charter of the
Maryland & Delaware ship canal.
Many readers will be surprised to learn
that this corporation, which professedly
represents the Delaware end of the
Sassafras route from Baltimore to the
sea, dates back to 1873. The CORPORA
tors have been dilly-dallying for IA
years; the only actual work they have
done in all that time being the excaya-
vation of few cart-loads of earth on
Mr.. Ferguson's farm. This kind of canal
building may do for eternity, but Mr..
FergusOn's constituents think it too
long time between wheel-barrow-
loads.
Captain Dasey predicts that his
canal will progress more speedily than
this. 1t is interesting to note that the
Assawaman bay enterprise was advo-
Gated by Governor Bassett of Delaware
as far back as 1882 and was at that time
the subject of extended correspondence
between the governors of Delaware.

The Good Templars Rannuet.

The Good Templars Banquet on
Thursday night was a success beyond
anything they have ever had. The
number present including members of
the order and invited guests filed all
the seats in the room not Appropriated
by the well filled tables which fanked
either side of the room. Dover sent
the largest delegation, 25 or 30 persons.
clayton and MOOrtOn were also well
representated. After the opening ex-
ercises and reading of Chief Templar
Roe's report which showed that the
society had at this time 127 members.
constituting it the banner society of
the State, about two hours were given
to literary exercises, which was about
one hour too long to those who intend
ed to remain for the banquet and
hadn't dead-latch key. The lodge
has such wealth of material that the
committee found it difficult to cut it
much shorter without bridging too
many noses. But it was highly enioy-
ed, the participants in most every case
being roundly applauded. We cannot
undertake to enumerate them all, but
a duett sung by Misses Emma Richards
and Susie Wyatt was especially well
rendered as was also another by Misses
Clara Wilson and Lizzie Beck, Miss
Grace Quigg at the organ. T. l..
Mason read about the Babies got a
tooth with good effect. Passing over
informally the Wood Quartette, the
declamatiOns, the cornet solo, the
violins and brass horns, the popular
execution of the evening, both good
and novel, was that of Will Carter on
the violin, Will Smith on the harmon
icon and John Wood on the guitar.
q. w. Bounds, of the Conference
Academy and Mr.. McKinsey of New
ark, editor of the DeLGCdre Good Tenn
ptGr made short addresses but long
enough to show that in adopting liter
airy pursuits and public speaking for
their life work, they will not be oIt of
place. Short addresses were also made
by Rev. Quigg, LoAand of Dover, Stew
enson of Clayton, and Messrs Wyatt,
Swinney and Roe of this town.
The banquet consisted of an abun-
dance of ice cream, cake and fruit.
and it was midnight of a very dark
night when the last of them got home.
Twenty additions have been made
to this lodge in the past two weeks,
aud noticeable feature of the oompo-
sition of the audience was the large
number of young men and lads in it
who are growing in independent
thought and conviction way beyond
the influences of the old bottled poll
ticians. Some of these days the lat
ter will wake up to find that the
world has moved on and left them
and their political influence " behind
among the rubbish of the "dark ages"

The School superintendents.

Herman Bessey the efficient Princi-
pal Of the Odessa Public Schools was
on visit to our town on Saturday.
Mr.. Bessey is in the race for the posi-
ton of Assistant Superintendent of
Public Schools of Delaware, and as far
as we can learn, stands at the head of
applicants for this position with letters
of strong recommendation by num-
ber of our public men in the state
where he is known. In the same con-
nectiOn we might add that our towns
man, L. Irving Handy, has received
and will lay before the Governor numer-
Gus and strongly writer letters endors-
ing him for especial fitness for the office of
superintendent, and should he receive
the appointment, as iC is believed he
will, his friends here will consider it
not only a compliment to him but to
the town as well. The term of Super
intendent Williams and Assistant Car
penter will expire in about two weeks
and as Governor Biggs has announced
himself for rotation in office, new men
will take the respective positions, and
most probably in the order as we name
them above.

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
DOVER Dr1 Mo-oh 90


DOVER, DEL, March 20, 1887.
There seems to be some hone that
the Legislature will be able to relieve
the State of its presence as a body of
lawmakers in three or four weeks at
the longest, and then the taxpayers
can draw breath of relief, and rest in
the happy thought that the treasury of
the State will be given n needed rest
two years at least. The treasury needs
rest as any one acquainted with the
bills daily presented can plainly see
A majority of the bills now introduced
authorizes some one or another to draw
on the State or provide for offices so
that more may be given a chance to do
so, thus 1t may be seen that between
those already in and those expecting
to get in by filling the numerous Off.
ces that the Legislature is trying to
establish, the money of the people will
be taken care of.
The important occurrences of the past
week were the discussions of the Con.
stitutional Convention bills, the bill To
establish a Court of Common Pleas in
New Castle County, to appoint three
commissioners to run this State as other
States are run and the bill introduced
by Doctor Chandler to abolish the off.
ce of Superintendent of Free Schools
and substitute one Superintendent for
each county with the President of
Delaware College as the President.
The discussion of the propriety of
changing the Constitution has been
going on for two weeks and over in
both the House and Senate, in fact the
former body passed bill and sent it to
the Senate for its concurrence, where it
pow is, and where il is likely to stay.

The fast and lose manner charac-
terising the two houses Ofthe Legislature
in their treatment of the constitutional
question points inevitably to It's defeat.
That Dr. Martins bill which seemed to
be offered in good faith aud sincere de-
sire orsuccess, received only two votes,
in the Senate, means that a majority of
the members are not in favor of reform,
at least to put it in process now. How
much the factiOnal fight for the offices
has to do in controlling the legislation
on this question, only those deep in the
conflict can tell. But whatever is not
done will be done in the face Of solemn
warning, as DR.. Martin, Senator
McWhorter and Representative Jones
have each declared in public debate
that the people the State are demand
ing a new constitution and political re-
form, and the party that will not grant
them will be swept from power and
new party put in its place that will.

in the face of much stronger senti-
ment on the part of the bar of the
